What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol for colorectal surgery recommends early urinary catheter (UC) removal after surgery. However, the optimal timing remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the safety of immediate UC removal and risk factors of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) after colorectal cancer surgery.
methodsFrom November 2019 and April 2022, patients who underwent elective colorectal cancer surgery at Seoul St. Mary's hospital were collected retrospectively. A UC was inserted in the operating room after general anesthesia and removed in the operating room immediately after surgery. The primary outcome was the occurrence of POUR following immediate UC removal after surgery, and the secondary outcomes were the identification of POUR-related risk factors and postoperative complications.
resultsAmong 737 patients, 81 (10%) had POUR immediately after UC removal. No patient had urinary tract infection. The incidence of POUR was significantly higher in male and in those with a history of urinary disease. However, there were no significant differences in tumor location, surgical procedure, or approach. The mean operative time was significantly longer in the POUR group. Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates did not differ significantly between two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that risk factors for POUR were male, a history of urinary disease, and intrathecal morphine injection.
conclusionsImmediate removal of UC immediately after colorectal surgery is safe and feasible in the trend of ERAS. Male, a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia, and intrathecal morphine injection were risk factors for POUR.
